Of course, all of this appears to be a way for McGregor to promote his recently-released line of whiskey, as he added:

The ticket for entry is a bottle of @ProperWhiskey. 2 bottles and you skip the Q to the top. My soldiers will be outside making sure this rule is strictly adhered to. Radio city Hall. UFC 229 Press conference.

Don’t expect the UFC to change their decision, as a viewing party sponsored by the promotion will be held for the event. FightLine will also have a live stream of the press conference on Thursday, which begins at 5 p.m. ET.
